Today is exactly my 5 year sleeve anniversary! It's the best thing I ever did!! In the 5 years I have gained 20 pounds back! I got down to 176 and now I'm 196. I'm working on getting those 20 off...

Welcome!! I'm 5 years out and I have NO regrets at all!! I have gained about 20 pounds back from being to easy with my eating when I went on a cruise last summer but I'm working to get them off!! I...

You can also try Yerba Matte. It's a dark green tea and it will help you with controlling your caffeine intake and still give you a boost. That's what I did and it helped!

Congrats! That's great! May I ask what did you do to re-loose the 50lbs? How did you reset yourself? I've gain 20lbs since my surgery and don't want to go back but am struggling to get it off.

I hated the Bariatric vitamins. I thought they were totally gross!! Nature Made makes vitamins that melt in your mouth. They're called Vitamelts. They have a good taste, too.

I had them after surgery as well. My doctor told me to take a magnesium tablet of 250 milligrams and eat a banana every day. He told me, if the cramps don't stop then increase the magnesium by 50mg...

I'm in the same boat! What did you do to kickstart yourself?

Devrom is the answer to this!! I order it from Amazon. It's about $18-21 dollars. Since I had surgery, I've had a lot of smelly gas. My Nutrionist suggested it! It takes away the smell entirely....

Boot camp is similar to circuit training. There is a trainer and he has us working out by doing different sets of exercises including running and weights (we bring our own weights).

Wow! Congrats on your training!! I've been doing boot camp for a year but have been thinking of switching to training for a 5k!

Thanks for the information. I was going to ask the same question!

I am 2.5 years out as well! I have good days of eating and bad. Over the last year I have gained about 15 pounds. I swim 3-4 days a week as well as do boot camp 3 days a week. I am stuck at my...

Yes. I still go to bootcamp. I go three days a week and I run, bike or walk on two other days. The days I do boot camp or a long run, I am suppose to be eating 1300-1400 calories a day with 80-85...

Sure! I would be happy to share! The first 8 months, the weight flew off of me. The next 6 months it crawled off and the weight stop coming off about 6 months ago. Part of that was because I had...

Hello Everyone,

Today it had been two years since surgery and I have NO REGRETS!! It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it!! Last summer I joined a bootcamp. I couldn't believe that I could...

January will be 2 years post-op for me, but I'm not sure I could go through another surgery. The "switch" seems really extreme to me! I'm not telling you what to do, but REALLY think this through. I...

Thanks for the recipes! I'm going to try a few of them!

Thank you for sharing these recipes!

I'm going to try this! Thanks!

I am almost two years out and I went through the same phase. This is a phase and you'll get through it. RoxFC is right! Go back to the basics. That's what I did. I also increased my crunchy...

Where are you ordering all the samples from?

I snack on persian cucumbers, baby carrots, sugar snap peas, and celery. I like things that crunch and it allows me to snack without the extra calories. I dip the persian cucumbers in balsamic...

My Nut said to learn how to sip, take a mouthful of water and swallow it slowly. That taught me how to sip. Now it comes naturally.

What has helped me with the last few pounds is bumping up my exercise. I joined an exercise class and boot camp. I fill up on veggies if I need to snack.
